Blokart Speed Record At Ivanpah 9-22-16

[@RedSkyHorizon]

Congrats on the Blokart record. Amazing location. I rode there once in a kite buggy back in 2011. Low winds unfortunately. Love the no music footage, just wind and sail. 👍

Well done Scott from a 79 year old sailer in New Zealand

Thanks Colin, good to here from you! Sorry I haven't replied to everyone's comments sooner. In two weeks I will be racing my new Mini Skeeter in the NALSA Mini Skeeter class along with my Blokart in this years 2018 NABSA North American event at Ivanpah. Colin I wish you MANY more wonderful healthy years! Say hi to Paul Beckett for me!

The Ivanpah race track is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, and is located northwest of Nipton and due north of the Nipton Road pit stop.

Well done!

[@kartpilot63]

Thanks! If I didn't trust that my kart would remain predictable and stable at these speeds I would of never attempted this!

Scott, are you a dealer? Curious on price, Comp Kart, 4M sail w/pod? I'm thinking I need a blokart, looks awesome!!!

[@jasoncampbell172]

[@jasoncampbell172]

Plus big front tire mod.

[@kartpilot63]

NoJason, I'm not a dealer, just someone who loves to sail and promote our wonderful sport.

[@DrMacintosh]

Awesome!

[@kartpilot63]

Thanks! Blokarts are incredible little land yachts. I sail mine, many times in very strong winds here at ivanpah, NV for months at a time and I've never had a part failure...........just flat tires!

Morning Scott, Congratulations on the record. I was wondering if we would be able to use this footage in the World Sailing Show October episode? Thank you in advance.

[@kartpilot63]

Yes you can and thanks!

Sorry but the Blokart speed record is currently held by Bryan Cook 110kmh at Lake Lefroy Western Australia Sat 21st May 2016. See Seabreeze Blokart forum for confirmation.

[@kartpilot63]

Don't be "sorry" Bryan Cook did go fast in a modified blokart.......real fast...........but not in a ALL stock unmodified blokart. If Bryan wants to hold the "blokart speed record" he needs to do it in a ALL stock-Unmodified blokart. Reducing drag using fairings and a smaller Non-blokart sail and saying Bryan broke MY record is a joke! Is this how you race "down under" You must have 3 classes down there! Production, Performance and Modified Performance! Blokart forum for conformation???? Must be some kind of propaganda site!

Well done Scott. On 21 may 2016 I did 68.35 mph (110 kph) on the salt at Lake Lefroy in Western Australia. The blokart had a recut sail at 1.8m and panels on the sides to improve airflow. Some have said its not a blokart anymore, 99.9% blokart by my reckoning. When the winds up and you have plenty of room to blast about, you have to give it your best. .Details on Seabreeze.com.au / landsailing forums

[@kartpilot63]

100% blokart by "your" reckoning. The Blokart I used was 100% stock! ALL original Blokart parts and NOTHING non-blokart added! Sailing a "modified" Blokart and claiming to break the "Blokart" speed record is a fantasy! All you did is sail faster than me in a "modified" Blokart. The wind drag at speeds over 60mph are incredible! Using "side panels" to route the wind around the cockpit instead of over the skipper and into the seat back is an enormous advantage. I can't believe you didn't go over 70mph! It would be like racing against another Blokart around the track that's been modified over a stock kart........... it's meaningless! Sail a 100% stock Blokart using a GPS (camera recording the GPS during the run if possible) faster than 65MPH and you own the record...............68.35mph is fast!!!!!!!!!!! Just straightening out the "record"

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

[@markhudson3445]
